What are Wall Street analysts saying about Campbell Soup stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Campbell Soup stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Campbell remains focused on getting its C-Fresh division back on growth track. Moreover, its focus on cost savings and core strategic imperatives are likely to drive growth in the long term. However, Campbell Soup has lagged the industry in the past year due to dismal top and bottom-line trends in recent quarters. The company’s first-quarter fiscal 2018 results marked the third consecutive quarter of negative earnings surprise with fourth-straight revenue miss. The underperformance was due to a volatile operating environment along with intense competition and fast evolving retail landscape. These have been straining the top line for a while now. Further, margins were under pressure driven by cost inflation, escalated supply chain expenses and adverse mix. Given a tough operating environment and anticipated rise in costs, the company trimmed earnings and adjusted EBIT guidance for fiscal 2018, while sales growth forecasts remained intact." (1/23/2018)

2. Credit Suisse Group AG analysts commented, "With Model 3 rollout nearing, we assess how it will impact the company’s Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) and ambitions around machine learning. We believe Model 3 is critical to TSLA’s ADAS position for two reasons. First, TSLA’s ability to accelerate learning cycles related to characterizing driving behavior is facilitated by high volume rollout of Model 3, but the ability to process that data and create driving applications appears nascent and the challenge is extensive. Second, we believe leveraging consumer balance sheets for its technology development is an underappreciated aspect of the business." (5/24/2017)

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations.
